Geneva to Interlaken?

Question

Can someone plz guide me which stop/station in Geneva I have to go while travelling from Geneva to Interlaken?

How much duration it will be?

Answer 1

Most train stations in switzerland have travel agent-type people to help you out in getting from place to place, they can even print tickets for your entire journey.

Also, if you're not swiss, you should look into getting a halb-tax (sp?), which will cost like 90 francs for the month and you'll get all your rail fares at half price.

Answer 2

It depends on when in the week and what time of day you want to leave, but you can go from Geneva Gare (Main train station) to Bern and switch trains to go to Interlaken (there are two stations: Ost (East) and West).It will take just under 3 hours.

It will cost you about 63 SFR for one way, or, if you can buy a Halb-Tax (Half-Fare) it is 31.50 SFR

Remember to drink some Rivella while you are there! (Swiss soft drink like gingerale. I really miss it!)

Answer 3

There are only two mainline (ie: not commuter train) stations in Geneva: Geneve Aeroport and Geneve Gare Centrale (airport and main). If you're flying in, you'll want the airport. If you're taking a train from France, you just have to go to the other end (CFF) of the same station; it should be quite easy to follow. Just look for "CFF" which are the French initials of the Swiss railroad, or something like "trains en Suisse" and/or blue signs with white writing.

As far as I know, all mainline trains stop in both the airport and the main station.

You can go either through Bern or via Montreux, taking the Golden Pass (prettier and a bit more expensive). (There's only one mainline station in both of those cities, too.)
